The thing with this book is that it's so beautifully written and it made me cry because i could relate to Charlie so much. I read this in a day, and I'm so glad that I read it now and not sooner, because now I understand how Charlie has felt throughout this book.

I knew what to expect from The Perks of Being a Wallflower as I had seen the film a few times before reading the book. I’m in two minds about the novel. On the one hand, I like that it addresses difficult topics, but I didn’t get along with the writing style. The best moment was after his sister’s appointment, she and Charlie have a random bout of laughter - it was a lovely thing to happen during a not-so-lovely moment.  

P.S. every time Sam had any dialogue, I couldn’t get Emma Watson’s terrible American accent out of my head.

What exactly are the perks?
